[applause] icting disaster if

the $85 billion in arbitrary spending cuts to is not prevented. we'll respect this president does a man of intellect and immense political acumen, a man of many seasons and parts, but he is also a man of many threats. the president wants to raise more taxes just a weeks after congress agreed to a higher taxes in order to reach agreement if faugh -- he's out pushing the politics of fear, dg his way or disaster. a sequester is a least, the military, he says, will be ready if called upon. the white house says fbi agents

will be furloughed along with civilian federal employees. federal prosecutors allegedly will close cases and let criminals run free. air traffic controllers and airport security to be furloughed. thousands of teachers and educators and first responders all laid off. now, that is quite a resolve to a phased into% reduction in federal spending, particularly since the federal government has nothing to do with first responders, teachers, or administrators. the obama white house seems to want us to believe that the streets will be filled with both toddlers and crux, airports will resemble a ghost towns, and the federal government work force will be reduced by about one-third. scary. scary except we have heard all of this before. are very on president. we heard it in the debt ceiling debate. we heard it in the run-up to the fiscal cliff. remember this threaduring the debt ceiling debate back in the summer of 2011?

i cannot guarantee that those checks go out on august 3rd if we have not resolve this issue because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it. this is not just a matter of social security checks, veterans' check folks on disability and their checks. about 70 million checks that go out. lou: more recently in the linda congressional session in the fiscal. >> debate, president obama issued his threat. >> what has been holding us back is the dysfunction here in washington. and if people start seeing that on january 1st this problem still has not been solved. if they save that people's taxes have gone up, which means consumer spending is going to be depressed, then obviously that will have an adverse reaction on the markets. lou: and, of course, that is exactly what has transpired as we now approach the onset of sequestered. took a long time, but president

obama today finally reach out to the republican leaders to talk sequester, talking by phone with the speaker and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry has our report. >> with just eight days ago, president obama please call today on the budget calamity to speaker of the house and senate minority leader. mccaw's office said it was the first time mr. obama called in since new year's eve. as white house officials faced questions on whether the buck stops with the president. >> the president is commander in chief, and he is very concerned. that is why he has put forward compromise proposals again and again. >> house majority leader eric cantor fired back, the president should stop scaring the public about how me it digress restore will stop being inspected and criminals will be let free by budget cuts. instd reach out to senate democratic leader harry reid who did not get a call from the president today and bush and to pass one of two house republican plans to stop the sequestered.

cantor declaring house republicans have acted, and it is time for the president and senate democrats to join us. it is time to get off of the campaign trail and get to work, show us with spending reductions you prefer and let's find some common ground. in a tit-for-tat fight, carney brought out shots on the president's own plans to cut spending and tried to turn the blame game back on publicans. >> there will be jobs and if the sequester takes place. the predent will, as he continues to do, call on republicans in congress to agree to avoid t sequestered because it is a wholly unnecessary will run the economy if it were to take place. >> except there were others in the president's party like former democratic national committee chairman howard dean suggesting the president should let the sequester happen to slice the pentagon's budget. telling the huffington post, i am in favor of the sequestered. it is tough on things that i care about a lot, but the fact of the matter is, you are not going to get another chance to cut the defense budget in the

way that it needs to be cut. white house officials disagree. as does the outgoing defense secretary leon panetta warned such deep cuts could leave america with as second-rate military. lou: you will remember republicans were furious before the election and the white house s not cplying with the warrant act which is a law that basically says employers need to warn employees about upcoming furloughs. the white house pushed back on all of that. now they are releasing those for loan notices. remember, people the 30-60 days in some cases on notices, which means these furloughs will take place until late april even though the sequester is supposed to take effect on march 1st which means they will have to find other cuts to replace all that says the actual notices were delayed. lou: thank you. ed henry, fox's chief white house correspondent. republican governor rick scott of florida, arguably obamacare biggest critic an opponent surprising a lot of people.

the florida goverent sued the federal government to stop obamacare, of course. got himself refused to participate in the obamacare medicaid expansion which is why fellowepublicans were absolutely shocked by his sudden reversal in decision to opt into a huge part of the president signature health care law. fox news chief national correspondent jim ingelwood to report. >> republican governor rick scott of florida and opponent of obamacare has announced he will implement one rt of a lot, a major expansion of medicaid and health care for the poor saying there are two options. >> having floridians paid the funds this program and other states while the nine health care to our citizens were using federal funding to help some of the poorest in our state with the medicaid program. >> and the obama administration top -- counting on an expansion may deter a very attractive. >> while the federal government is committed to paying 100 percent of the cost, i

cannot in good conscience deny floridians the need access to health care. >> a skeptical legislature would only last for three years because that is how long the federal government will pick up 100 percent of the cost. the governor got plenty of encouragement from florida hospitals which must treat the poor even if they don't have insurance. what is called uncompensated care. hospitals have everything to gain. >> they presume that it was going to bring in new customers, a lot of new, lower income customers it will have insurance instead of being an insured. so the state governors are feeling a lot of pressure from the hospital community to be the expansions. >> the white house welcomed the news. >> decisions made by governors across the country to move forward with implementation recognize that the benefits year for providing affordable health care to the citizens of their state. >> seven republican governors are expanding medicaid, 26 have

refused to set up exchanges, so analysts say no major change of heart is under way. >> argue at the republican governors are no caving in to the implementation of the law is a real stretch. >> governor scott is working on a voucher system for florida's ports, which he says could save money and offer better care. expanding medicaid, he emphasized, is not a white flag of surrender to government run health care. lou: think you. what will be the impact if the obama sequester is unbleached temecula will be the republican strategy to deal with the political fallout? great to have you with us. >> it's a pleasure. lo we are sitting here seven and a half hours, seven hours, seven days and about six hours away from sequestered.

it does not seem as if anyone is taking this very seriously. i mean, we had the op-ed from the speaker. we had a little bit of discussion about it amongst republicans, but what is going to happen here? >> well, i am actually in my district today and actually received a frantic phone call from a lady who works for the usda, a meat inspector. the king she was going to lose her job and wondering how food is going to be cleared to get into the grocery stores. this is really a president to does not want to make any cuts. look, this is not the right way to make cuts, but thank god we are finally making cuts. the american pele need to get used to this. if we don't make cuts now the american people will find out what real austerity measures really are. all you have to do is look to europe for that poor guys are getting their paychecks cut by 33, 40 percent. this is a president who continues to campaign, and i am very concerned about it because

we have to make a lot more cussed in this. lou: a lot of cuts, but these are automatic arbitrary cuts. 800,000 people. the president says will be furloughed. we have a president who is sending a his entire administration trying to scare the dickens out of people. >> and who knows where they come up with these numbers. the poll numbers out of the sky. don't put any credibility in the numbers that they are using. let's not forget that we already have an economy that is in decline. and the president has yet to show how we're going to grow our way out of this mess. we have already thrown money at this problem. we spent trillions upon trillions of dollars supposedly in the name of job creation, and i don't see that that is working. so now we're going to have to make cuts. this is the first of many. this is not the right way to do it. i am especially concerned about how we handle this with the department of defense, but

perhaps we can come back at this question taking place, may be passed specifically small bills like dealing with the defense appropriations bill, maybe the military construction bill that will give the pentagon some capability to make and prioritize the changes that need to be made to make the cuts. lou: the president's popularity far surpasses that of congress, house and the senate.ss, the this is a difficult, difficult position, obviously, for the republicans. you're talking about a woman calling a concern about her job. i would presume 800,000 people are worried about their jobs. we know that there will be rolling weekly one day for los. we know that they cannot start because the war next is not taken. notices are only now going out. a lot of gamesmanship. this is no way to run the government. frankly, congressman, i have to say to my and extraordinarily disappointed about the president

and the leaders of your party. this is utterly irresponsible behavior on the part of this president and the leaders of both houses of our congress. >> i thought it was kind of goofy to begin with. lou: good for you. i have to stop you. good for you because the super committee is one of the dumbest things that has ever bn formed you talk about what happens when the committee comes up with an idea. >> it was done from the beginning. that was the only thing that the president to agree with. i want to expand on one point that you may which is that this idea that the president can win. of course, the president can win each one of these zero arguments. he can win these little paper cat fights because he can put all of this administration out there. there is no question that tactically he can win.

strategically here at the end of the day the economy has to grow. so people can blame the last four years and george w. bush story like this guy, but you know what, things are going to get tougher and tougher for him as he continues to win a little paper cup battles but the economy doesn't grow. lou: congressman, i'm with you to a point. this should b about the national interest. this should be about the nation and the correct leaders and direction for this government. i am afraid that has been lost and all of this. >> this is a president to really could go down in history as one of the best presidents, but he is deciding deliberately not to do that. he could come work with the republicans to make cuts to this government, balance the budget. i think he is campaigning for one thing which is that he wants

to win in 2014. when i say when, he was the republicans toe kicked out of the house city can't put nancy pelosi back in a speaker. tactically he can get all these little victories. overall of the economy doesn't grow the american people don't win and he is not going to win the. lou: great to talk with you. thank you for being here. time for each house -- should people be required to identify themselves by name on a worlide web? go to the our facebook page. wrigley to know what you think of those efforts to eliminate on the internet. our tax dollars from the advanced research and development and the obama administration gives it all away to the chinese. we take it up in the "chalk talk." more of a of we take it up with theeal of gulf oil. friday night, buddy.
